Feeling Big...Ugh.

Thursday, July 17, 2008


I am 17 weeks pregnant (tomorrow) and my pants dont fit but not everyone can tell i am pregnant.

I just feel bloated and big! I feel like I ate a whole watermelon and it is just sitting in my stomach. I didn't think the weight gain would bother me so much. Maybe because I put in so much work and effort to losing 15 lbs before I got pregnant.

I am just venting. I am excited about expecting a baby but I am also scared. Will I be a good mom? Will I not be able to lose the weight after? Will I just give up on myself and not take care of myself? There are alot of emotions going on and I just feel crummy right now.

    I completely know how you feel. I had lost 52lbs before I got preggers so it's so hard to see the scale go back up! I cried a couple times over it, but now at 24 weeks I know I have to gain what the baby needs! Hang in there!
I have already gained 23.... LOL

    I am kind of going through the same thing. I am 22 weeks and this is my first child. I went to the doctor today and was thrilled to find out I am having a boy. But the doctor also said I had gained too much weight. Must have been that 2 week cookie rampage. It made me really, really sad. I feel your pain.

    Liz, Liz, Liz....you're at the "bad point" of pregnancy. With both my kids I felt the same way....until I actually looked pregnant, I just felt like I looked fat and it realllly bothered me, too. Hang in there.....soon that bulge will be an indication that you have a stowaway and you'll feel nothing, but pride! As for your doubts about your ability to be a good mother and to take care of yourself, we alllllllllll go through that. It's perfectly normal and I can assure you that your fears are completely unfounded. One year from now you'll write back to me and tell me I was right! ;-)

P.S. The fact that you lost 15 pounds before your pregnancy only means you'll have 15 pounds less to lose after your baby is born....congrats!!
